Little Miss's Acorn Pouch

Here in the midwest, autumn means explosive colors, perfect sweater weather, and piles and piles and piles of leaves. Oh... and one more thing... acorns!

And we all know the best thing about acorns, right? Collecting them!

But, with a very-much-on-the-go four-year-old, I'm quickly learning the failings of collecting acorns in your little fists... too many acorns, not enough hands. After being handed more than my fair share of acorns to "save," I thought I'd better come up with a better solution... and what could be cuter than collecting acorns with your own little "nutty" pouch?!

It's a simple design that (for me at least) works up in a little over an hour. And, so you don't have to do all the math, it's now on Ravelry for free.

I hope you and your little ones will have a fun excuse to get out and enjoy fall -- especially now that you don't have to hold all those pesky acorns!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
